Chapter 377
Chapter 377
"This world relies on force." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with deep eyes and said, "If you are strong, he will be weak and dare not move. If you are weak, he will be strong and will not negotiate with you." He blinked and smiled at him, "Just like you as the emperor."
The little emperor was so angry that his face turned red and he stared at him with his round eyes.
"You have a bad temper and you glare at me. I'm wrong." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with amusement and said, "Where is the power in your hands?"
"No, it's not as good as the steel knife in your hand." The little emperor said aggrievedly with a pout.
Huang Zhongchang smiled and said, "Do you want to go to the northwest?"
"You want me to follow you to the northwest." The little emperor pointed at himself and looked at him in disbelief. His eyes rolled around and he said, "Then I'll be your hostage!"
"Do you think you can be a hostage?" Huang Zhongchang looked at him with amusement and said, "If I recognize you, you are the emperor. If I don't recognize you, you are just a child."
"It seems that birth is not absolute!" said the little emperor, looking at him with a pout.
"Strength determines everything." Shen Hui'e patted his shoulder and said, "Of course I have you here. I don't want to conflict with them and give the Xiongnu an advantage."
"What if they let a wolf into the house? What if the ambitious people directly turn to the Huns?" The little emperor said, looking at them with horror on his face.
"Traitors shall be killed by everyone," Shen Hui'e said murderously, "They shall be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and be cursed for a thousand years."
"Cough cough..." The little emperor was so frightened that he kept coughing.
"What's wrong? Isn't this the right thing to do?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "We will also be recorded in history books and let future generations judge us."
"How will they evaluate me?" the little emperor asked curiously.
"How do you say that?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "There are both positive and negative sides. Some people support you for saving the people in the city from the suffering of war, while others disapprove of you taking the lead in surrendering and living in disgrace... Any bad words you can think of are possible."
"You'll be dead by then anyway, why would you care what others say?" Huang Zhongchang said carelessly, "It's not your fault that the court was overthrown. I will give you a fair evaluation in the end."
The little emperor pursed his lips, looked at them and said, "When are we leaving?"
"We'll leave once the city is stable. At the very least, the summer harvest must be over and we'll have some food!" Huang Zhongchang said, looking at him with clear eyes.
"When is the summer harvest?" the little emperor asked them with his innocent eyes.
"Don't you know?" Huang Zhongchang asked, looking at him with his dark eyes.
"I don't know!" The little emperor blinked and looked at them and said, "I don't farm, how would I know?"
"Then I don't know the 24 solar terms either." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear and bright eyes and asked.
"We know some of the solar terms. The palace has to celebrate them." The little emperor said to them with his watery eyes.
"The 24 solar terms were established by our ancestors in ancient times to follow the farming seasons and guide farmers in their farming lives." Shen Hui'e said simply and roughly, "Grain Full has passed. In ten days or half a month, it will be almost time for the wheat harvest."
"The wheat in the field has turned yellow." Huang Zhongchang nodded hurriedly, "Don't let it rain during this period."
"Why?" the little emperor looked at them in confusion and asked.
"The wheat will die as soon as it rains. If it rains continuously and the wheat cannot be harvested in time and exposed to the sun, it will easily become moldy or even sprout. This season's grain will be completely ruined." Shen Hui'e said to him with her deep and clear eyes.
"Ah!" the little emperor said in surprise, "I like rainy days. When it rains, I like to watch the rain falling from the eaves. The sound of the raindrops is so nice."
"Ah..." Shen Hui'e sighed and looked at him and said, "Do you still like snow?"
"Yeah!" the little emperor nodded vigorously.
"We drink wine and talk about life around the fire, listen to the snow, watch the flowers and enjoy evening tea!" Shen Hui'e looked at him slowly with her deep black eyes.
"We will gather around the fire, cook wine and roast venison!" the little emperor said, slurping his saliva. He then added, "Red plum blossoms in the snow, snowball fights, snowmobiles, and ice lanterns." He looked at them with innocent eyes and said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have snow?"
"Okay! But it can't snow too much. If the snow is too heavy, we will worry that the house will collapse under the snow." Huang Zhongchang looked at him with deep eyes and said.
"Ah! The snow can even collapse the house." The little emperor looked at him with his eyes wide open.
"Yes! Not only that! I'm also worried that they might freeze to death." Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly and said, "I'm worried that the animals might freeze to death."
"Burn firewood!" the little emperor said, looking at them with innocent eyes.
"Do you think food comes from the kitchen?" Huang Zhongchang said to him with a wry smile.
"Of course I know this. It's grown in the fields, cooked in the kitchen, and served here." The little emperor looked at them with a smile and said, "I'm not stupid. I just didn't know. If I knew, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing."
"I'll let you see how common people live later." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright dark eyes.
"Is it very miserable?" The little emperor took a deep breath and looked at them.
"Compared to you, it's very miserable, but they don't realize it. Their childhood was colorful and interesting." Shen Hui'e looked at him with warm eyes and said.
"How can this be so inconsistent?" the little emperor looked at her in confusion.
"Childhood is a happy thing in the eyes of children, and young people don't know the taste of sorrow." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
"You'll know when you grow up." The little emperor asked her with his innocent eyes.
"Yes! When you reach middle age, you have old parents and young children to take care of, and you are the backbone of the family." Shen Hui'e looked at him deeply and said, "It's not easy to be born, it's not easy to live, it's not easy to live." She snorted and said, "The worries of children are nothing compared to survival."
"If what you said is so terrible, then why are you still alive?" said the little emperor with a pout.
"Then why are you afraid that we will kill you?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and asked leisurely.
"Uh..." The little emperor was speechless.
"Because life has infinite possibilities." Shen Hui'e looked at him with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "There is always hope when you are alive, but when you die, there is nothing left."
"Because when you were a child, you had a pillar in your family to support you, so you could have a carefree childhood!" Huang Zhongchang said, looking at him with his dark eyes.
The little emperor blinked his eyes and looked at them thoughtfully. "When my father was still alive, I really had no worries. Since my brother took over the family, the inner court has been much lax and is always not so timely."
"Haha..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "There's nothing new under the sun. Everything is the same."
